What crit is this?

[Taos]

Hi - Is there some experienced help that could help me identify this critter? It is only in my mother plant tent, and can fly. I am assuming a gnat, but would love confirmation or information. Thanks,

Well I seen one lol but I’ve never seen them before it looked like it was leaving the plant to be honest I just helped it it was like a tiny white maggot with a silk string I checked for more but there a couple of trees in the adjacent gardens so I can’t really stop it I can only treat while fighting the mildew that seems to be quiet for now I’m still not able to visit the girls everyday but I have my moped now at the hospital in case of emergency’s lol shhhh

Bt may work but a quick bit of reading regarding them in southern us says alot of times the best action is nothing as the trees survive their outbreaks?

I agree with mud balls, pic is quite blurry

Yes I read that they are not an issue to a tree but my tiny little saplings are no trees lol when I found it it was not at the top it was half was down and on a string so I feel he realized he landed in the wrong environment and was trying to leave of his own account but I’m stoned most of the time lol
